No, never.
An isotope has to do with the nucleus of the atom.
The protein that projects from the outer surface of the membrane is termed as an extrinsic or peripheral membrane protein. These proteins are not embedded within the lipid bilayer but instead are attached to the surface of the membrane.
This phenomenon is known as the octet rule, which states that atoms tend to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, typically having eight electrons in their outer shell. Attaining a full outer shell makes atoms more stable and less reactive. This stability is often achieved through chemical bonding, such as ionic or covalent bonds, where atoms either transfer or share electrons. Elements that achieve this configuration often resemble the noble gases, which naturally have full outer shells.
Stable atoms.
Atoms with 8 electrons in their outer shell, also known as having a full valence shell, are typically stable and less reactive. This configuration is characteristic of noble gases, which do not easily form bonds with other elements. As a result, these atoms tend to remain inert and do not readily gain, lose, or share electrons. In contrast, atoms with fewer than 8 electrons often engage in chemical reactions to achieve a full outer shell, typically by bonding with other atoms.
The sharing of electrons in the outer energy levels of two atoms is called bonding.

Atoms typically like to have a full outer shell, which often means having 8 electrons (an octet) for stability. This is known as the octet rule. However, there are exceptions for smaller atoms like hydrogen and helium, which can be stable with fewer electrons in their outer shell.

The same as any other isotope of carbon: four.

there are four electrons on the outer shell of carbon..
Atoms form bonds by sharing the outer electrons.
Sharing of electrons in the outer energy level of two atoms results in a covalent bond.
Because it's in a stable state. Atoms with an electron 'missing' from their outer shell will always try to 'grab' one back to stabilize themselves. This is often done by combining with other atoms and 'sharing' an electron in order to reach stability.
